"Please keep writing these" - Our 11 year old
Our 11 year old son, who is a picky reader, devoured this 2nd book in the Jack Geniuses series and can't wait for the next one. He is a budding engineer and the series has grabbed his attention. Nice mix of science and adventure to keep his interest.

My favorite part was when Jack
“Those moments when I know more than my siblings, well I live for them,” Jack often thinks about his genius foster siblings, Ava and Matt. In this adventure of Jack and the Geniuses in the Deep Blue Sea, the kids fly to an island in Hawaii called Nihoa on an underwater plane with their scientist mentor Hank Witherspoon and billionaire Ashley Hawking. Jack and his siblings investigate the Thermal Ocean Energy System, known as the TOES, the invention Rosa Morris created to make energy and reduce pollution by using cold water. They realize they were invited to Hawaii for Steven’s birthday party, but when the TOES stops working, they help find out what went wrong. There are many different suspects along the way, but only one is correct. Who has sabotaged the TOES?Jack and the Geniuses is a science mystery book filled with inventors and inventions packed with creativity. My favorite part was when Jack, Ava, Matt, and Maya (the granddaughter of one of the suspects) venture out on a handmade boat to the middle of the sea and get stranded. They have to eat raw fish, use a jacket for toilet paper, and tap S.O.S in Morse code on a shark tracking device to get home.I give this book 5 stars because of the twists and cliffhanger ending, cool science, and the exciting feeling you get when you really want to know who did it. I think this book is good for girls and boys who are interested in mystery books and science technology. Best for ages 7+. Jack and the Genius is a 300 page book and the second in a series you’ll want to keep reading.Bianca M., 8, Denver Mensa
